that the font rendering problem was an issue with Ubuntu itself, then I
switched to Xubuntu and was stuck with mousepad. Used it for a

Aibara, you're correct in that my fix is not a perfect solution, but it
prevents Gedit from being practically unusable in my opinion. Hopefully
someone can find the exact cause and a solution to this problem soon.

Jeff is correct.
Easy way to reproduce: take a short text file and view it in Gedit,
making sure that all the text appears within the window, the font is
fine. If you start resizing the window, the second a scroll bar appears
(i.e. some of the text is hidden) the font becomes distorted.
Maybe
Changing 'rgb' to 'rgba' in xsettings fixed the issue in Gedit for me.
However, setting to rgba makes other apps render text poorly. After
screwing around for hours I did something that fixed that thought, but
I'm not 100% sure what it was. I think it was a fontconfig file buried
somewhere in my
I applied your fix, Jeff, and it did make everything consistent and
prevent Gedit from changing. However, all the fonts look slightly
thinner. Granted, they look better than with that dconf setting set to
rgba without your font.conf file (and also better to the Gedit-with-
scrollbars one), but
Here's the actual image file I mentioned in #9.

I'm having this issue too. I'm a web developer and use Gedit on a daily
basis so this is making life difficult.
I did determine a few things though... It only occurs when there is a
scrollbar present. When the document is short enough and doesn't require
a scrollbar the font renders correctly.

Title:
Font rendering is broken
To manage notifications about
Thanks, is that specific to gedit? I don't see any difference between
those screenshots but maybe somebody with better eyes can do...
One thing you could try is to install gedit 3.8 on trusty and see if
that resolves the issue, it's somewhat unlikely the issue is coming from
gedit itself there
Tthe colors of the pixels to the side of the characters in the
screenshot on the right are off, causing them to be blurrier and more
'shimmering'.
I only found this in gedit, nothing else. I was using a live image, and
just tried it again with today's... but now the rendering seems just
fine.
thanks, it seems like that would rather be a fontconfig issue, it's
interesting to know it doesn't happen in a consistent way
